Well when I first smelled the bus fumes From the diesel motor Well my two year old mind could only applaud Such odor The world is showing me its tricks The world was showing its hand Then an alley somewhere Smelling of grease and piss I was delighted that the world would want to Smell like this The world is showing me its tricks The world was showing its hand Well the pond and the odor The swamp and the sweat Each smell is telling me a secret So give me an alley Give me a valley Give me a neopolitan night Let me smell more of the world And gain more insight The world is showing me its tricks The world is showing its hand Yeah So give me a mowed lawn Give me an ozone Give me summer rain Let me smell more of the world That I might learn something The world was showing me its tricks The world is showing its hand The world is showing me its tricks The world is showing its hand
